THE FAMILY

PHOTO

1.

Be yourselves

Gone are the days when a

family portrait meant dressing

up the whole clan in stiff,

uncomfortable clothing and

sitting at the photographer¡¯s

studio. Take some photos

of your family having fun¡ª

playing, laughing, talking, and

being themselves.

Don¡¯t dress alike

Keep the focus on your family¡ªnot their

outfits. Dress in clothes that work well

together, but aren¡¯t too ¡°matchy-matchy.¡±

3.

Take a moment

Before you click, consider

your composition. It can

turn an everyday snapshot

into a work of art. Can you

zoom in with your camera

and fill the frame with your

family? Or try another angle

for a dramatic effect¡ªlike

shooting from directly

above as your kids play

in the snow.

Get more tips for taking family photos and portraits.

Keep it simple

Keep the focus on your family by photographing them

against a solid-color background. This could be a

brightly colored wall or an expanse of grass or sky.

5.

Unless you are trying

to create a seasonally

specific photo for a

holiday card, newsletter,

or calendar design,

skip the holiday props.

Instead, head outside

for a seasonal yet

natural background¡ª

that way, the family

photo can be displayed

all year-round.
